A new study suggests eating egg yolks can accelerate heart disease almost as much as smoking.

The study published online in the journal Atherosclerosis found eating egg yolks regularly increases plaque buildup about two-thirds as much as smoking does. Specifically, patients who ate three or more yolks a week showed significantly more plaque than those who ate two or less yolks per week

"It may seem harsh to compare smoking with eating egg yolks, but lead study author Dr. David Spence says researchers needed a way to put it into perspective since both eating cholesterol and smoking increase cardiovascular risks - but the general public believes smoking is far worse for your health.

It stretches the imagination beyond belief as it has been proven by multiple studies that the cholesterol from an egg cannot be digested and passes through the human body as waste without effect.

A case of further proof that many scientific works today are sloppy, designed to find the answer the sponsor prefers and will not stand up to the full rigor required of a peer accepted work.

Weird, I've gone to a nutritionist recommended by my doc and she said egg yolks were fine, but like everything they should be done in moderation. Oh, well, SR always laughs at all these studies. Maybe he's right. (hope he isn't reading this),
